> Establishing a new session with SSHv2 can take 5 to 7 network round-trip times, which can easily be noticed by the user. SSH3 only needs 3 round-trip times. The keystroke latency in a running session is unchanged.

Bummer. From a user perspective, I don't see the appeal. Connection setup time has never been an annoyance for me.

SSH is battle-tested. This feels risky to trust, even whenever they end up declaring it production-ready.
